I’m guessing that since the ICE doesn’t run as much as a standard vehicle that it may take a little longer for this to happen. My TCH is my first hybrid (not counting the FEH that I get to drive once and a while at work) and I’m still getting used to driving it. I can’t really complain with 32mpg on the first tank because I usually drive 80+ on the highway when I can and my old 6cyl Taurus would only get 19-20mpg.

Me, too. The first tank was something like 35. Second tank was 38. I haven't filled the third tank, but the computer is showing almost 42. I have modified my driving technique significantly...including slowing down to the posted limit and driving on roads that have a 40 miles per hour limit. I have found that 40 MPH is the TCH sweet spot as it is at the high end of the allowable EV mode.
